1/13 🧵🧵🧵

In 1264, while much of Europe turned against its Jewish communities, one Polish duke did the opposite and created a blueprint for centuries of shared life.

Jewish families had begun settling in Polish lands during the 1100s. In western Europe, crusades, local violence, and new laws were making life harder for Jews. Polish rulers from the Piast family saw a chance to strengthen their growing territories.

Their lands needed people who could trade goods, manage money, and help build towns. Jews brought skills as merchants and financiers from other parts of Europe, so the dukes welcomed them with offers of safety and the freedom to follow their own traditions. It was a practical partnership that benefited both sides.
2/13

An early sign of this trust appeared even before the famous charter.

In the late 1100s and early 1200s, Duke Mieszko III the Old faced political trouble and needed support to return to power. Jewish donors helped him, and in thanks he gave them control of the mints in Gniezno and Kalisz.

Jewish experts produced thin silver coins called bracteates. These official coins carried clear Hebrew letters, such as the word “Bracha,” meaning blessing, or the duke’s name written as “Mszka Dux.” Some even named the Jewish mint masters, like Joseph of Kalisz.

For a medieval Christian ruler to place Hebrew on his country’s money showed real confidence. It was a public mark that Jews were valued partners helping to build the economy.
3/13

This early cooperation paved the way for something bigger.

On 16 August 1264, Duke Bolesław the Pious issued a formal charter in the town of Kalisz. The document had about 36 articles and set clear rules for Jewish life in Greater Poland.

It was not invented from nothing. Similar charters existed in Bohemia, Austria, and Hungary, but the Polish version went further and lasted longer. Bolesław wanted stable communities that would bring trade and taxes, so he created laws that protected Jewish residents while keeping good relations with their Christian neighbors.

If you have an iPhone 13, 14, 15, or 16, do NOT update to iOS 26.

Apple's new "Liquid Glass" design is destroying older phones.

If you already updated, here are 6 settings that fix it:👇
1/What's Happening iOS 26 runs a new "Liquid Glass" interface.

Every menu, notification, and app uses real-time transparency and blur effects.
On the iPhone 17, the new chip handles it.

On the 13 through 16, your GPU runs at maximum load just to show the home screen.

That's why your phone is suddenly laggy, hot, and dying by lunch.
2/ Kill the Glass Renderer

Every transparent menu is being rendered live by your GPU.

Nonstop.

Go to:
Settings → Accessibility → Display & Text Size → Turn on Reduce Transparency
GPU drops to idle instantly.

Phone stops overheating.
This is the single biggest fix.

The first Millennials graduated college during the dot-com bust. Then illegals fucked up the entire housing market. Then there were multiple recessions. The Obama fucked health insurance just as they started having children.
Now all their old towns are filled with H1Bs and Illegals and the schools they went to are filled with drugs and alphabet teachers. As a bonus, they're the first generation that has to navigate raising kids with smart phones and tablets.
Boomers and Xers have rained absolute dogshit on Millennials from the second they became adults. That's why so many of them are still basically children.

🧵 If you want to understand the tragedy of Ukraine firing its Defense Minister, do not read the press releases. Look at the witnesses.

Listen to the soldiers in the trenches, the protesters in the streets, and the Russian war channels celebrating online. 🇺🇦⬇️🧵 1/
The streets delivered their verdict first.

In 18 cities, thousands of Ukrainians held cardboard signs reading "Return Fedorov." They chanted "Shame." They understand that a government that fires its best reformer during an existential war is fighting itself. 2/
The enemy testified next.

Russian neo-Nazi and military Telegram channels threw a digital festival. They mocked Fedorov as a "hippie IT guy," but openly celebrated the Ukrainian government for eliminating their most dangerously smart adversary. 3/

MASSIVE DELAY ALERT TO ORACLE’S STARGATE SITE AND BLOOM ENERGY🚨🚨

Oracle’s Project Jupiter behind-the-meter datacenter project in New Mexico that plans to use Bloom Energy is at risk of a 1-2 year delay due to permitting and pipeline building blockers. (1/8)🧵 Image
As we continue to monitor the status of datacenter delays, whether they are real, whether they are fake... some are out and out delayed because of -> building gas pipelines and receiving permits for power generation equipment. (2/8)
Oracle's proposed 2.45 GW Project Jupiter site in New Mexico can't run at any meaningful capacity until a 17 mile pipeline (the Green Chile Pipeline) connecting the El Paso Natural Gas (EPNG) system to a delivery meter station is constructed. Oracle switched from turbines to Bloom Energy fuel cells earlier this year — but fuel cells run on pipeline gas too. All details below👇️ (3/8)Image

🔺 JULY 17 RECAP

The U.S.-Iran war escalated sharply Friday, with American forces striking bridges and other infrastructure deep inside Iran as Tehran launched widespread retaliation across the Gulf and beyond. Below is what was reported across the different theaters.

🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia

➤ Iran said it struck Prince Sultan Air Base, which hosts U.S. aerial refueling tankers and surveillance aircraft, in what would be the first attack on the base since late March. The claim could not be confirmed.

🇯🇴 Jordan

➤ Iran heavily bombarded bases hosting U.S. forces, with footage appearing to show Iranian missiles evading Patriot PAC-3 air defenses.

➤ Iran’s regular military, the Artesh, said it targeted U.S. fuel-storage facilities at Muwaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Azraq.

🇰🇼 🇧🇭 Kuwait and Bahrain

➤ Kuwait and Bahrain came under heavy missile and drone attack. Kuwait’s Shuaiba power and desalination complex was struck and several soldiers were wounded, while Bahrain reported a facility on fire.

➤ The Artesh said it targeted a U.S. ammunition depot at Camp Buehring, a major U.S. Army installation in northern Kuwait near the Udairi Range. It also claimed attacks on command buildings, ammunition depots, and several bridges at Ali Al Salem Air Base and elsewhere in Kuwait.

🌊 Strait of Hormuz

➤ Iran struck a U.S.-linked, Thailand-flagged vessel with anti-ship cruise missiles. Separately, Tehran said two tankers caught fire after entering a mined route through the Strait of Hormuz that Iran had declared off-limits; CENTCOM denied that mines caused the incidents.

🛣️ Iran

➤ The U.S. struck another bridge, and possibly several, along routes linking Kerman and Hormozgan provinces, extending its campaign against Iranian transport infrastructure. Iranian authorities said U.S. strikes on bridges in Hormozgan killed at least seven civilians.
🇧🇭 On Bahrain:

🔸Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said it destroyed a depot of U.S. naval drones and Bahrain’s “main artificial intelligence center” in overnight strikes, claiming the AI hub was used by U.S. forces to select targets, according to Iranian state media.

🔸In its statement, the IRGC said the strikes, part of the 17th wave of its Operation Nasr 2, came in retaliation for U.S. attacks on bridges in Iran that killed and wounded civilians. It claimed “a large number” of the American unmanned surface vessels were burned and that the AI center was “completely destroyed” by ballistic missiles and drones. Neither the U.S. nor Bahrain confirmed any damage, and the claims could not be independently verified.
🔸The Guard issued a sweeping threat, warning it would begin targeting the economic, technological, and industrial assets of companies with American shareholders across countries hosting U.S. bases.

“We will raze to the ground the most valuable assets of American companies,” it said, if Washington keeps striking Iranian civilian infrastructure.

The warning follows Iranian threats earlier in the war against Gulf data centers, including OpenAI’s $30 billion Stargate campus in Abu Dhabi.

@Cloudflare @RETNnet @voxility @path_network @ZayoGroup @eastdakota This is an infrastructure level block. These are all private companies. They don't need an excuse to remove us.

There's no way around it.
@Cloudflare @RETNnet @voxility @path_network @ZayoGroup @eastdakota @CogentCo @henet We are being attacked by members of FBI-designated terrorist organizations who openly trade child pornography and animal crush pornography. They are attacking us because we know who they are an we document evidence they abuse children and animals. @eastdakota should stop helping.
